Chapter 208: Economic Resources!

"Move all the stakes." Zhang Xiaowu shook the musket in his hand, it seems that after this thing is assembled, they should be welded together, otherwise it will be easy to fall apart if it is fought twice, is it possible that there is something missing in the middle?

It was also the first time he had made such a musket himself, and he used to be best at making pistols from ivory, but the cost was too high, and it was difficult to make such bullets with the current technology.

That's why he chose the easiest musket to build.

Such a musket also has a much longer range than a small pistol.

"Brother, is this thing really okay?" Chao Gai had seen the ammunition in Zhang Xiaowu's mouth before, it was some black gunpowder and iron balls, this thing can also kill people?

The wooden stake was pushed in front of everyone, and everyone surrounded it, Ruan Xiaoqi pointed to a black hole the size of a small thumb and said, "Look here!" ”

"There's that too!" Ruan Xiaoer found two small black holes in the wooden stake, although it was not very deep, and the iron beads inside could be seen, but this was a wooden stake, if it was replaced by a person.....

Chao Gai trembled and touched the hole with both hands, it was indeed just punched in, and the iron beads on it were still hot.

"This ..... Artifact, artifact! Chao Gai finally couldn't help but exclaim.

He had never heard of such a weapon.

"Brother, what do you call this weapon?" Chao Gai was a little incoherent with excitement, if this thing could be mass-produced, they Liangshan would definitely be able to form an invincible army.

Not to mention that he is just guarding Liangshan, as long as he has enough manpower and weapons, he is confident that he will be allowed to enter the imperial city.

"Muskets!" Zhang Xiaowu repeated: "It's just that these weapons still need to be improved, one is too loud, and the other is a little unstable, give me a day, I'll study what to do, and then it should be ready for mass production." ”

"Okay, brother, you say how to get it, let's do it!" Chao Gai laughed and said: "Brother is really a god, since you came to our Liangshan, not only helped us recover a lot of gold and silver, but also created such a powerful weapon, these two masters, you deserve it." ”

Chao Gai slapped Zhang Xiaowu hard, then took the musket from his hand and asked, "How do you use this weapon?" ”

"I'll teach you..."

In one day, Chao Gai learned the seven-seven-eighty-eight of this musket, and even the accuracy was not bad, at least it was not too much to run the target.

He really believes in Zhang Xiaowu's ability from the bottom of his heart, and he also has extreme trust in his words.

Such a powerful weapon, if Zhang Xiaowu wants to have it alone, he doesn't have to come to their Liangshan at all, and he can form a mountain by himself, even if there are thousands of people, if they can have such a weapon, it is only a matter of time before Liangshan is defeated.

At the same time, he was also glad that people like Zhang Xiaowu had joined their Liangshan, not their enemies, or people from the government, if that was the case, they would be in big trouble.

"Brother, this weapon is our secret weapon, but how many of these weapons do you think we have enough money to build?" Chao Gai is not a fool, he understands that good things are definitely not for nothing, the cost of this thing is also very high, and there are more wasted materials.

These were all reports from the blacksmiths, and he was a little hesitant to continue, but now he understood that even if it was worth it to build these weapons with all his money.

"I think it's enough for about five hundred." Zhang Xiaowu didn't hide it, he also estimated that the money should be enough to build these, after all, the materials used are a bit harsh, and every time a gun is made, a lot of materials will be burned.

"Only five hundred?" Chao Gai pondered for a moment: "That means we need more money, right?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu nodded: "If you want to see the effect, it is best to have about a thousand, when the time comes, with these muskets, even if the team of thousands of people faces tens of thousands of enemies, there is also a fight, but this weapon is a double-edged sword, and it is easy to hurt yourself if you are not careful, that is, no matter what, you can't let this weapon go outside, even if you fight, you have to find a way to get them all back, there is no shortage of excellent blacksmiths and artists in this world, once they know how to use this musket, then the unlucky ones are us." ”

"Brother is right!"

"Then what we're doing now is to find a way to get more money, right?" Chao Gai knew what this weapon meant to Liang Shan, so his first thought was where to get more gold and silver and build more weapons.

Zhang Xiaowu nodded approvingly, yes, we do need more money.

"I can think of a way to this, we Liangshan have our own financial resources, and it shouldn't be a problem to build a thousand weapons." Chao Gai wanted to ask how the weapon was made, but he felt a little abrupt, everyone has their own secrets, and if they can create such a weapon, even if Zhang Xiaowu works for the imperial court, they will definitely have to treat him as a treasure.

If Da Song can get such a weapon, why should Jin Bing be afraid?

"Then there will be King Lao." After Zhang Xiaowu finished speaking, he stood up and said goodbye to Chao Gai and walked out of the front hall.

Chao Gai stared at Zhang Xiaowu's back, and only after a long time did he speak: "Maybe what you said is right, such a weapon is enough to change a world." ”

Behind him, Wu Yong walked out: "The Heavenly King's words are wrong, what can be changed is not this weapon, but this person, Gongsun Sheng's calculation that this person has the true dragon luck and body, with him, we Liangshan will definitely be able to compete for hegemony." ”

"Let people protect the second master, our Liangshan is not so peaceful." Chao Gai sighed and got up and said, "If it is really as Gongsun Sheng said, I can consider giving him the position of the Lord of Liangshan, and I also feel that he seems to be more suitable for this position than me." ”

"I don't think it's time yet, let's take a look." Wu Yong's eyes are profound, this Zhang Xiaowu is a strange person, and all signs have shown that he will definitely not always shrink in the small place of Liangshan, but they only have about 10,000 people in Liangshan now, and it will take a while to resist the imperial court.

Chao Gai nodded his head: "Then listen to you..."

Zhang Xiaowu had already returned to the room at this time, still holding the assembled musket in his hand.

"Xianggong, what is this?" Fluttershy comes to Zhang Xiaowu and sits down, blinking her eyes in confusion and asking.

"It's called a musket." Zhang Xiaowu pulled Fluttershy into his arms and explained, "See this?" As long as you hook it, you can easily kill people. ”
